Well hopefully anyway. The two days of allowing capacitors to slowly but surely reform has finally paid off. Full power does NOT cause a heated dummy load. Tomorrow evening I get to attach the cheap speakers and have a listen.
This was a $75 flea market purchase from a small asian man who instantly regretted selling it so cheaply. He outfitted the amp with new Electro-harmonix EL34s and a Sovtek 5AR4 rectifier. Those are what appear to be two stock dynaco 7199s front and center.
Wish me luck. Work is going to suck because I'll be thinking all day about powering this baby up after 6pm.
